Loved it! Forever interested in the parts of history that get erased and the voices that are silenced. It's important to me to seek out those stories/histories and be a witness to the forgotten.

A beautifully told and vital story that deserves all the attention Hall gives it and more.
I was not a fan of the art style; while Martinez's stark black-and-white images really capture the emotions of Hall's story, I do not like the way he draws people. Which, in a story about people first and foremost, was a big drawback for me.
